4 SCENE IN THE HOUSE.
Sir Richard Cartwright got him-
self into a tight place in the Ilouse
the other day by relying on Grit
enreeseatatements. 1 The question be•
fore the IHnuse was the fairness of
the distribution bill. John Charl-
ton asserted that the Grits had a
'majority of the popular vote in
Ontario but were gerrymandered
out of representation in Parliament,
Clark Wallace denied this. Sir
Richard rashly supported Charlton.
We are Garry Sir Richard is not a
reader of THE NEWS -RECORD, for
ho,will find iu our issue of April
6th, 1892a;tabulatedstatement taken
from the blue books and the returns
received by the Clerk of the Crown
in Chancery up to that date, caro•
fully compiled by us,whieh shows a
popular Conservative majority in
Dominion elections of between
6,000 and 7,000.
Mr. Chariton starlted the house
by announcing that while the.
Libera]s•ofOntario were in,a minority
in House they were in a popular
majority in the coulitry,
d
How did he make that out, aske
Clarke Wallace.
Here Sir. Richard Cartwright came
to the rescue and said that tits
figures ofGeorgeJohnson, the Dom.,
inion statistician, showed that
"George Johnson never mad
any such • statement," was Mr. Wal
lace's report.
"Oh, yes, he did," answered Sir.
Richard. He had seen the state.
anent. -
Clarke Wallace defied him to pro.
duce it, and as Sir Richard did not
happen to have his figures by hint
he dispatched a page in hot haste
somewhither. In the meantime he
took occasion to remark that the
member for West York was beneath
hie notice, anyway.
'Twos that that roused theldander
of Clarke Wallace. IIe had never
been obliged to travel up and down
the Dominion Iooking for a constit-
uency, he said. He had eat for the
same constituency ever since he bad
first entered tib,House.
No otherconi3t{'ueney would have
him, snarled Sind ichard,
"But he never had to wring the
bands of people weeping because
they had to vote for him. This was
Sir John Thompson'a contribution to
the debate.
By this Sir Richard bad got the
figures for which he had sent, but
they turned out to be the production
not of the Dominion Statistician,
Mr. George Johnston,
When he had finished Clarke Wal-
lace asked Sir Richard to prove Mr.
Charlton's
ures
of theatatisticiay
n and he hadent by the $ not
done ad.
Sir Richard replied with a suspicion
e
Wiaxwzp v &!z'Opp, krtUlf�t+dkk
THOLE NO:, 712'
of warmth that he bad edpitted that
• the figures which he had pro.cluc.ed
were not those of the Dominion
,Stetiatician, But be bad seen such
figures eomewherp, although he
could not produce them then.
reon of tis di
brought Sir etitrRichard to the pointgue at
which he said' that Clarke Wallace
had wilfully and maliciously reisstat •
ed the case.
•
Babel was ' revived. "Order,
order," "Withdraw, withdraw," yell-
ed the Goverritent supporters, Sam
Hughes' mellow baritone leading the
chorus.
'.Then West York's darling craved
silence that he might rise to a point
of order and demand an apology
"I am quite in order,' snapped Sir
Richard, who was new as mad as the
proverbial wet lien and looked about
as nice as the proverbial singed cat.
"The member for West York was
twine corrected, but be twice re-
peated the falsehood,"
Another bedlam was let loose.
"Sir down, sit down," barked Moe
Mullen when Clarke Wallace rose to
press his point.
Acting Speaker ,big, broad Ber-
geron •of Beauharnoia let the uproar
run its course- Boyle, of Monckj was
aching to inflict here. figures upon
the House, John Charlton also
yearned to unburden himself. Both
were many times on their feet but
the House would have nothing of
either.
"t)rder, order order." "Chair,
chair, chair, ' the 'Minrsterialists
shouted in gleeful chorus until
their voices fell away in sheer fat-
igue.
Finally the chairman rose to rule.
Much had been said an both sides;
each side •'should withdraw, Such
was his ruling.
Picture the House in a state of
wild confusion, business standing
still and every back bencher yelling
till his weazen cracked ; Sir John
Thompson sitting with mask unruffled
Mr. Laurier laughing merrily ; Sir
Richard savage and Clarke Wallace
coolly pertinacious.
Mr. Wallace got a hearing at last.
"I challenged Sir Richard," he
said, '•to produce his figures. He
said he could but he didn't. The
figures which he has produced are
false."
He paused a moment, "Now, I
guess we're even," be said smiling
sweetly on Sir Richard.
The boot was on the other leg now,
and it was the Opposition that clam-
ored for .order.
"They are square now, I guess
was Bergeron's ruling. The House
laughed uproariously. Boyle spoke
for a while and it being six o'clock,
the Speaker left the chair.
